Here's everything you need to know about Jake Paul vs Ryan Bourland.
The event is set to begin at 7 p.m. ET / 12 a.m.
“I’m dedicating myself to be the best in the world,” said Paul to Sports Illustrated. “And this is a relatable story.
“I’m not Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tim Brady, or Shaq. I’m the skinny fat kid from the Disney Channel trying to become dominant in the toughest sport in the world. That’s what drives me.”
On having less experience than his opponent, Paul added: “That’s why we wanted Ryan Bourland.
“This is going to be a test, and I need these rounds under my belt.”
